Turkish delights
In honor of President Obama's (wow, still feels good to say that) recent visit to Turkey, the shuffle landed on this song today. The shuffle loves half-assed sentiment...
Wax Poetic is one of those projects where a hipster ex-pat in NYC makes tunes with a rotating cast of people and they are good, much like Big Muff or some other group I'm sure I could think of if I could be arsed to take the time.
